Within the framework of A’SIMA Tunis pilot project consisting of setting a multi-purpose eco-center for waste management in Greater Tunis, studies are ongoing to assess the project’s feasibility at all levels (i.e. institutional, environmental, social, and economic scales).
A public consultation was therefore organized on Saturday 16 November to introduce the project, and assess the social acceptability of the project, including the potential impacts and positive outcomes, to the main stakeholder.
In total, 57 persons participated in this consultation, including public stakeholders such as the National Agency for Waste Management ANGED, the National Agency for Environmental Protection Tunisia ANPE or the Ministry of the Interior, economic stakeholders, and NGOs representing citizens.
As the main conclusions of this workshop, the expert leading this consultation emphasized on the need to actively involve the stakeholders in the project to ensure the continuity of social acceptability, namely local people from the neighborhoods where the infrastructure will be placed, local authorities, NGOs, and experts. She also advocated for complete transparency, communicating the positive outcomes of the project and the mitigation measures planned in case there are any negative externalities.
This project would be the first of its kind in Tunisia. It would reinforce inter-municipal cooperation as it involves 7 municipalities of Greater Tunis, namely El Mourouj, Sidi Hessine, Radès, Megrine, Bardo and Ben Arous, and Tunis.
MedCities, IRIDRA and SVI.MED had the opportunity to participate in a study visit in Barcelona. Organised within the framework of the URWAN project, the objective of this study visit was to explore the Nature Based Solutions (NBS) and other sustainable water management solutions carried out by the Municipality of Barcelona to tackle the typical challenges faced by many Mediterranean cities: drought and the resulting flash floods.
MedCities aims to promote city-to-city learning and the thematic working groups are an enriching and trust-based opportunity for it. In this regard, the 2024 work plan focuses in a peer–to-peer programme that consists in inviting two cities of the group to share a concrete challenge related to their local mobility policies or project. The takers (Takers of advice) are the municipalities of Rethymno and Agadir.
As part of the action plan for the Working Group on Greener and Climate Resilient Cities and following the results of the BAMM (Barcelona Academy for Mediterranean Municipalities), MedCities organized the first webinar for the Working Group composed of 23 members, focusing on urban cooling strategies to enhance heat resilience in Mediterranean cities.
